During the performance of “Out Of Time”, a fan managed to bypass the railing and security to get on stage and charge towards Abel for a hug.

Even though Abel played it cool, this is a really concerning situation especially when you think about what he said about his anxiety and panic attack.

Please don’t do this thinking it makes u cool. No one knows your intention good or bad this is just scary. pic.twitter.com/e26QE5FGM1

The Weeknd played it cool, as security was on stage moments later to pull the man away.

I just KNOW Abel was anxious and fuming on the inside. Imagine if this had been some nutjob who was going to do something bad to a performer on stage??
